Excerpt from the book:
“When my mobile rang again half an hour later, I was sitting comfortably in Poems&Crimes, a café in Agia Irini Street, with a cigarette and a coffee in front of me for company. Now I could deal with it. After we had exchanged polite pleasantries, the lady came to the point. A particular school was putting on an exhibition of Alexis Akrithakis’ work at the end of October, on the 29th to be exact. An art historian would be speaking about the paintings and some other person would speak about something else, and they wanted me, at the school, to say something about Alexis as well.”
